Thank you!

I'd love to hear a comparison of the darkglass v boss

The graphics eq is in the System settings section. Does that mean it's a global setting for all presets?

Too true but the foh will lose the fx eq etc. Fingers crossed a firmware upgrade will allow a bit more control of the hpf routing.

getting the hang of it now. dissappointed that the high pass filter knob affects the DI output AND the cabinet. I use the HPF to stop the stage boom but want the FOH sound bod to apply or not apply HPF to suit.

Thx for the tip.

Ps i wish it had an input overload led to help set the input gain

A head arrived yesterday and had a great hour or two playing on my own. During band practise last night i seemed to spend ages getting the sound right. I've been using an rm800 recently, not for the 800W but cos i like the sound. I seeemed to fiddle with the katana a lot more to get it right. Might not have helped that the android app thought i had a Bluetooth connection but it didn't actually change the amp settings. I'll definitely keep it and continue to fiddle but not sure I'll gig with it for a while. Regarding needing footswitches to get all the patches that's a real pain, i often play crowded pub stages with not much space for my own feet let alone a foot pedal. Regarding volume, no probs at all would certainly do a pub gig with 4ohm cabs. Regarding list of fx there seems to be 2 differt menues one a lot more comprehensive than the other. A bit confusing. Early days and good fun at home for sure. I hope to get confidence for gigs as i like a hpf compressor and a bit of drive in one box. Suspect I'll end up using it on panel mode mostly.

With you on the big screen but that maybe due shaky hands and old eyes!

I go for a straight ethernet connection to an old laptop that i don't use for anything else. Had too many near misses with the wifi, though quite get if you're using a tablet it's unavoidable. Really recommend spending time playing with it before gigging. I've got caught out a few times getting a setting wrong setting up for sound checks. There's a lot of pressure at that point in the proceedings. Having said all that I'd deff go for the xr18 for all the reasons given. Thomann do a nice custom flight case for them which I'd recommend.

I have a vox humana fretless jazz neck. It plays really well. From the Netherlands so there's post brexit duties to pay I'm sure unless you buy it over there and stuff it down your trouser leg.

I've had a similar experience. Playing in a busy covers band everything felt just right when i switched my P to flats. The same bass in the more acoustic band i play with needed so much eq tweaking i switched to a jazz with rounds, all happy again. I'm sure either bass would do either job but it's much easier if the bass (and the strings of course) just slot in.

Bet that came to a sticky end

That is such a good joke!

The only thing that's let me down gigging is loose cable screws in speakon connectors. Checked all my speaker leads afterwards, lots of loose screws. Worth a quarterly check. I usually put 2 leads from the amp to the cab now. Non gigging faults have been gk legacy 800 and bergantino forte hp. Both ice power module faults 😕
